Ghost ship of planet Mir
There is a guerrilla art group operating in town. They are putting decorated gnomes at random sites around the town. I've not seen any, despite the photo in that article being just down the street from where I work. I walk past there almost every day, but obviously I didn't that day. Anyway, I like that the guerrilla art group has the same idea as the church auxiliary I saw last weekend. Perhaps they have overlapping membership.
The other day, one of the doctors we work with came into the office to do some paperwork and asked me what time it was. Her watch has been running slow, she explained, so she liked to keep checking. I told her the time and said, 'Don't check your watch against the clock in the boardroom, we just realised this morning that it's fifteen minutes slow.' A little while later I went past the boardroom and there was the doctor, looking at her watch. 'You're right,' she said, 'it *is* slow.'
I remembered that just now because my mother is in (making me a birthday cake for tomorrow; I am licking the beater as we speak) and she rang John, her partner, to remind him about a doctor's appointment. 'Take the piece of paper labelled 'March 25',' she said. 'Only that one, none of the others.' A pause. 'No, not the one with April on it, why would you need that?' Basically, people doing what they've just been told not to, for no reason other than to annoy their colleagues and loved ones.
